Jason can't leave well enough alone. And just when we thought the bathroom was done...
On the weekend our new and improved bathroom received some extra architectural bling in the form of decorative window and door architraves (they match the rest of the Sow's Ear). The other bathroom windows had been done a few weeks ago, but we left the main window and the door alone...We weren't too sure how to attach the new mouldings without damaging the tiles.
As it turns out it was much simpler than we thought...just attach them over the existing plain architraves. Perhaps it's a bit unorthodox but it seems to work. After a bit of filler and paint, you would think those architraves were always there.
It must've been bothering Jason to have mis-matched architraves in the bathroom, as he was quick off the mark to buy the timber on Saturday. While he was out he also picked himself up a pair of new King Gees. OMG! He has it in his head that he has to look the 'tradie' part when he does a job around the house. He's gone mad.
Anyway, here are the fruits of Jason's labour on Saturday morning.
I hope you aren't tiring of all these bathroom posts...we never seem to ever be completely finished at the Sow's Ear!!

ReplyDeleteThey look great, little things make all the difference don't they? We haven't completely finished anything either so I know how you feel ;)
ReplyDeleteKing Gees? :)
ReplyDeleteHa! They're a brand of work clothes for trades people. He bought a pair of tan work shorts. Forgot that it is such an 'Australianism'! xx
DeleteOh bless him and his king gees! My husband MUST consume ice break each time he drives a ute! Boys!!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the details, they are so easy to over look!
He's done a great job on those doors and windows, what a difference each bit makes to the whole renovation!
